Same package - no functional changes.

FIXES:
Added the language file......
admin/includes/languages/english/column_controller.php

fixed the mispelling in admin/includes/boxes/tool.php.

Complete package

Version 2.2 is missing the file for the adminincludeslanguagesenglishcolumn_controller.php.

I found that you can use the one included 2.1 package listed below and use that. It works no problem

I've attached it to this upload for convience and goes into the adminincludeslanguagesenglish folder

There is also a problem with the link color when 2.2 is installed. In the admin panel there is a spelling error causing the link to be "discolored" from the .css file

the line is in the section that refers to the adminincludesboxestool.php. The problem is the word "menuBoxContentLink" is spelled incorrectly if copied and pasted into the php file. The file shows the spelling as "menuBoxCententLink"..........so fix it accordingly........

'<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_COLUMN_CONTROLLER) . '" class="menuBoxContentLink">' . BOX_TOOLS_COLUMN_CONTROLLER . '</a><br>' .

After these fixes, the column controller 2.2 started to work as designed.

REVISED 28th July 2004 by Greg Hooper (WotzHotNow)
No change in functionality.
Updated to work with oscommerce-2.2ms2.

NOTE: I wasn't able to auto increment the config id for the sql because of
some hard coding in the admin/column_controller.php file, so I set it to 400
so it wont clash with other settings. If anyone has a bit of time, there is only
five changes needed in admin/column_controller.php to solve this problem.
-----------------------------------------------------------
INSTALLATION:- on fresh oscommerce-2.2ms2
The zip file contains all the files needed to do a copy and paste over a
fresh oscommerce-2.2ms2 install. If you have made mods to your site already,
you are better off installing manually using the instructions below which have
also been updated. REMEMBER TO BACKUP.

Step 1:
Copy all files in the catalog folder over your existing fresh oscommerce-2.2ms2 install
Step 2:
load the SQL file to your database.

That's it!!

The README2.txt file explains how to add new boxes to your columns.

This modification allows you to change all settings via a Column Controller that will be located under the Tools category in your Administration Tool.

This was created using the 2/4/03 snapshot and should work as far back as March of 2002. Basically is the same as ver 2.0 with a slight change in the sql file and admin/column_controller.php file to allow for the addition of the gzip compression that has been added to the latest snapshots.
